Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand · UTC+7 ## Questions about adding a Data Engineer to your team. Can you take over pipelines someone else built? Yes, that's the usual starting point. The engineer we assign maps and documents what runs, where it breaks and who depends on it before improving anything. Fixes then come in priority order, starting with the pipelines whose failures hurt the business most, so trust in the data grows quickly. Batch or streaming? Batch, unless there is a real-time need. Nightly or hourly batch is simpler, cheaper and easier to debug for most reporting. Streaming makes sense for fraud detection, live inventory or user-facing features. The engineer designs it so the two approaches can share the same models. ## Add remote data engineers to your team. Tell us your sources, your warehouse and which loads break most often.
